Bruce Spohn was born March 5th 1947 in Lancaster, California near Los Angeles. His parents moved north to the Bay Area and he attended K-12 in a number of schools in different cities around the Bay. This laid the foundation of his outlook on life. After graduating from Clayton Valley High School in Concord California he joined the U. S. Air Force. After basic training in Lackland AFB in San Antonio, Texas he was sent to Germany Oct 1965. Like many Americans assigned to Germany he fell in love and married. While living in Germany he left the Air Force in 1968. He continued to work for the military as a civilian and later enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1980 and in 1994 he retired from the Army. Life in Europe appealed to him and he stayed in Germany after retirement and spent a total of 40 years living in Germany. Finally he returned to the United States Feb 2006. As luck would have it he was sent back to San Antonio, Texas where he works for the Government at Fort Sam Houston.

Bruce started writing when he was still in high school but never published. While serving in the Military and later as a DoD civilian Bruce started writing articles for the Army Post News Paper in Heidleberg Germany. In Nov 1999 he was involved in a near fatal car accident and woke up in the ICU a few days before Christmas. He felt inspired to write a story to send to his friends as a special Christmas gift. He continues to write and has a collection Christmas stories that are published under the title “Christmas Treasures”.
